چکیده

This paper studies the boundedness, global asymptotic stability, and periodicity of positive solutions of the equation xn f xn−2 /g xn−1 , n ∈ N0, where f, g ∈ C 0,∞ , 0,∞ . It is shown that if f and g are nondecreasing, then for every solution of the equation the subsequences {x2n} and {x2n−1} are eventually monotone. For the case when f x α βx and g satisfies the conditions g 0 1, g is nondecreasing, and x/g x is increasing, we prove that every prime periodic solution of the equation has period equal to one or two.We also investigate the global periodicity of the equation, showing that if all solutions of the equation are periodic with period three, then f x c1/x and g x c2x, for some positive c1 and c2.

A nonlinear second order field equation – similarity solutions and relation to a Bellmann-type equation - Applications to Maxwellian Molecules

In this paper Lie’s formalism is applied to deduce classes of solutions of a nonlinear partial differential equation (nPDE) of second order with quadratic nonlinearity. The equation has the meaning of a field equation appearing in the formulation of kinetic models. Similarity solutions and transformations are given in a most general form derived to the first time in terms of reciprocal Jacobian...

Unconditionally Stable Difference Scheme for the Numerical Solution of Nonlinear Rosenau-KdV Equation

In this paper we investigate a nonlinear evolution model described by the Rosenau-KdV equation. We propose a three-level average implicit finite difference scheme for its numerical solutions and prove that this scheme is stable and convergent in the order of O(τ2 + h2). Furthermore we show the existence and uniqueness of numerical solutions. Comparing the numerical results with other methods in...
